    Even under the intrusive glares of some 60 NBA scouts, the 6-10 small forward seemed oblivious to them Tuesday.

    "I'm not looking at it that way," said Sakota, the lone player on this year's Nike Hoop Summit World Select Team to have declared for this year's NBA draft. "They're doing their job and I'm doing my job. You just come to practice and forget anybody is here."

    But they were there, lined tightly along the walls of the Memphis Grizzlies' practice facility. They were there from New Orleans. From Houston. From New York and Sacramento.

    They were there to feast their eyes on this 18-year-old from Greece with the silky shooting touch and the wingspan of a 7-footer.

    "He's going to be very special," said World Select Team coach Rob Beveridge, whose international squad takes on a 10-man U.S. Junior National Select team Saturday in the eighth annual Nike Hoop Summit at FedExForum.

    "He's a 6-10 guy who can shoot the 3, handle the ball and create mismatches on each end. He's gifted. ... I can see him in the NBA."

    But when?

    Most mock drafts have Sakota going undrafted, calling him a top prospect for the 2006 draft. </div> Source
